Follow me to the other side
So much to see beyond your fights
They love, they breathe, they live, they die
They tell the truth, sometimes they lie 

But to your ears their
words sound so different, somehow strange
And you don’t like what
you do not know or understand

Follow me to the other side
You'll understand at speed of light
They breath, they fear, follow the rules
Each day they take their kids to school

But on TV they
look so confusing, out of range
And you don’t like what 
you do not know or understand

And to your ears their 
words sound so different, somehow strange
And in your fears your 
own world is not yet up for change

So in your heart it's 
just such a foreign frightening land
And you don't like what 
you do not know or understand

Foreign land, time to see
Heart in hand, come with me
You are told who’s the enemy
You won't find the truth on TV

They share your fears, they share your dreams
Up close it's different than it seems
For you it’s foreign frightening lands
Could be friends

Their church and gods have different names
Their future’s going up in flames
For you it’s foreign frightening lands
Could be friends

They tell you who’s the enemy
But you won't find truth on TV
For you it’s foreign frightening lands
Could be friends

They share your fears, they share your dreams
Up close it's different than it seems
It’s not just foreign frightening lands

The Other Side

THE HYBRIS is an international Alternative Rock project of three friends. In the past we lived in Germany and played in various bands playing Rock, Punk, Alternative, before we were spread all over the world. Today we live in Nice, L.A. and Cologne, but still – and more than ever – make music.

We are Ringo Rabbit, Beanie Bison and Malcolm Mandrill – three wannabe comic superheroes on a mission to save the world. Join us!

And why this name? In greek tragedy ‚Hybris‘ stood for exaggerated self-pride, arrogance, excess of ambition causing the transgressor’s ruin. The perfect headline for the age we live in. Our lyrics often show political attitude – well, rock songs without attitude are crap, right? But why these silly masks? Isn’t this mask thing worn out? At first it was a stupid idea, but meanwhile we think it is pretty cool… Some suspect, we want to make ourselves more interesting than we really are. Others believe it is a smart move – since we’re incredibly ugly in real life.
